Titanic is one of the most famous ship in the history made in 1912. Designed by Naval Architect Thomas Andrews. Titanic sank in the middle of North Atlantic on April 15th 1912 because she was struck an iceberg that leaked more than two of its watertight compartments. Titanic has been found by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985. Today, i will revealed some of the unique question that has been answered by the latest expedition before the 100th Anniversary of Titanic with goal of mapping the entire wreck site. Let's get started...
Q: Why did Titanic sank? Did Titanic has flaws in its design?
A: Titanic has no flaws in its design and the flaws statement has been disapproved by the test they did. They actually made a replica of Titanic steel wall with hammered rivets. Then, they gave the pressure to it to see if one rivet popped out, will the rest be popped out too? In fact, one rivet did popped out, but the rest of the rivets remained intact. No one knows how much pressure that the iceberg did, but it's definitely not because of the flaws design.
Q: Why did Titanic broke in half?
A: No one know how actually Titanic broke. Titanic broke in the middle of the second and the third funnel. It's completely different from what we saw in 1997 movie. James Cameron actually did the latest expedition too and admitted that the broke up he made in the movie was wrong. The found of the double bottom speaks the truth. But why Titanic broke in half? Because she was subjected with stress that no structure could withstand.
Q: Why did Titanic not bring more lifeboats?
A: Titanic actually have more lifeboats than the law required. Experts assumed that they don't need to hold everyone, because radio will call other ship to the rescue. Today, lifeboats seats for everyone is the law. But what good with enough lifeboats if there's no time to launched them?
3 years after Titanic, Lusitania sank in 1915, The Andrea Doria in 1956, and Costa Concordia on January 2012. 3 of these ships rolled on their side as they sank, making many of their lifeboats unused. Titanic remain stable for 2 hours and 40 minutes as its sinking and all of her lifeboats were used. One of the researcher convinced that no other ship on the ocean would've perform under that circumstances as well....as Titanic.
I think there's a lot of evidences that Titanic was built a lot better than she has been given credit for.
